What drills should I do for snapping?
VS’s teaching philosophy is to break each snap down into parts – specific drills are assigned to develop each part of the technique. Through this drill work, the full operation will improve. The drill library and practice plans include exactly which drills to perform and in which order.
How often should I snap?
VS believes in quality over quantity. How often you snap depends on the time of year. In season – 3x/week is a good; off season 2-3x/week. Many of the practice plans include fundamental drills without a ball. This develops technique without wearing out.
What should a snapper do in the weight room?
VS has partnered with one of the best strength coaches in the country to design a program specifically for specialists. VS does not take the place of your team’s strength coach. Specialists need to participate in the team workouts just like any other player. Many specialists, however, do not have a team or coach to train with. For this reason, VS has a program to follow to support on-field training. The 3 best things a specialist can achieve in the weight room is explosiveness, flexibility, and core strength.
